A/N This chapter is pretty intense. Alain shows up with his mega Charizard and Ash and Serena have to fight side by side with Clemont. I have tried to describe battles to the best of my ability! Enjoy !
After the surprise battle with Celosia and Mabel of Team Flare, our heroes are in pokemon center.
"What do we do? We can't stay here forever." Serena was worried.
"There's a Casadina city ahead. It's a huge place. Security cameras everywhere and electronic surveillance system of pokemon center is the best in all Kalos." Clemont rambled on about the equipments. It was well known that he loved technologies.
"Then let's go there." Ash agreed. Eager to keep squishy safe from team flare and resume his special training.
As they were nearing Casadina city, they saw helicopters.
"Oh no. Not them again." Bonnie cried.
" we got you cornered now. No nurse Joy or officer Jenny here to disrupt our mission" said a cold voice with a hint of smile. Of course that voice belonged to.. you guessed it! The Team Flare scientists.
"Drapion pin missile"
"Houndoom dark pulse"
They attacked without warning. Purple and black waves flew at them along with silver vines of pin missile.. Luckily Clemont had good reflexes with experience of dealing with crooks as a gym leader.
"Luxray thunder" Crackling bolts of yellow electricity collided with the dark pulse and pin missile, keeping their enemy from advancing.
"Noivern boomburst" Ash joined. The sound based move didn't hurt Mabel and Celosia who were wearing headphones but pokemon were shaken.
Of course they didn't care.
"Drapion cross poison"
Luxray and noivern had to dodge.
"Aim cross poison at the girls"
Drapion turned to Bonnie and Serena who were hidden behind a rock, away from the boys.
"Sylveon protect" yelled Serena, throwing pokeball in the air. Sylveon struggled to shield them inside green barrier.
I better do something fast, Serena thought, her sense of urgency increasing. Ash and Clemont are outnumbered by grunts and Sylveon can't hold protect barrier for long yet.
"Braixen mystical fire" she screamed.
Roaring fire in shape of rings burned drapion, decreasing his sp. attack. He recoiled from the heat.
That was enough. "Sylveon use fairy wind". Sylveon pulled herself together, whipping up a silver tornade aimed at Drapion.
Drapion seemed to be suffering from an effective attack but Serena knew they had no chance of winning when they were outnumbered 10 to 1 and their adversary had technology to capture squishy by force.
"Bonnie come with me"
"But Clemont.."
"Now!"
"Charizard block them"
Massive charizard stood in their way, ready to strike at his trainer's command. They didn't want to fight him. Serena tried to go around it, pulling nervous Bonnie by her arm.
Mabel and Celosia stood on both sides of Alain and charizard now.
"Keep the boys occupied. We'll do the recovery operation" barked Mabel in mouthpiece.
Serena stood in front of Bonnie with her arms wide. Shielding her, dedene and squishy from team flare.
"Braixen mystical fire, Sylveon, fairy wind"
Charizard wasn't hurt by the fire. Alain decided to take Sylveon out first.
"Charizard use shadow claw"
Charizard's claw turned blushish and long, nails sharp. Sylveon dodged and used disarming voice. A soothing voice filled the field, making Charizard so tranquil that he wouldn't fight. In that moment, Braixen used psychic.
Silver glow surrounded Charizard, rendering him unable to control his limbs and in another second, he was thrown in the trees behind him by Braixen's psychic.
Alain only seemed amused.
"Charizard, show them the strength of our bond. Go beyond evolution! Mega evolve" Alain pressed the bracelet and the mega stone and key stone made contact.
A charizard was bad enough as a foe but a mega charizard was even bigger problem.
"Clemont, help" Bonnie was shouting but he was fighting alone, surrounded by grunt's houndooms from all sides, all attacking at once.
"Serena, what will you do?"
Serena thought of Ash and what he would do. There was only one thing to do. I WILL NOT GIVE UP she Thought as she stood with her head held high, facing mega charizard directly with her two partners.
Celosia took a step closer.
"Sylveon, keep them away with fairy wind"
She was thrown off her feet as fairy wind blew full force. Celosia decided to leave it to Alain.
"Dragon claw"
"Disarming voice, braixen use psychic"
Charizard was thrown off again but it wasn't as effective as the last time. He simply brushed himself off, resumed the attack and aimed it at braixen. Dragon moves won't affect sylveon.
Braixen was thrown off, she hit the rock hard.
"Braixen" serena cried. She took out her third pokemon, a Kirlia.
"Hold them off till I check on braixen" she shouted at them, running towards Braixen who was buried under small rocks.
Kirlia used charm, Sylveon disarming voice to buy time.
Serena and Bonnie threw away some of the rocks, underneath a fire was burning.
"Is that you Braixen? I will get you out.. Hang in there" she got to work.
Fire burned stronger, next a huge rock on the fire moved on its own and launched itself at mega charizard, who was attempting to use shadow claw on kirlia.
"Braixen.." Serena was astonished. "You evolved"
"Del-phox" Thank god..
"Alright then, kirlia use charm, delphox, mystical fire"
Kirlia looked charmingly at Charizard, making him wary, in that moment a yellow and red ring of fire, larger than any of them had ever seen before hit him directly on chest.
But even with the hits, Alain's mega charizard was equal to the three of them.
He used blast burn then steel wing against the two fairy types, knocking them unconscious.
"Delphox use psychic again, Bonnie, you need to run with squishy now. I can't protect you."
"But.. Where?"
"Just go.. We'll find you"
"Thank you Serena"
She didn't look back.
She had to buy them as much time as possible. Celosia and Mabel tried to go after Bonnie. Delphox used phychic on them, tossing them in the air.
This however was when their luck ran out.
Mega Charizard landed blast burn on delphox, then hid behind the fire and launched dragon claw, aiming at Delphox.
Just then, Ash and Clemont finished taking care of grunts and joined Serena.
However all their pokemon were tired.
On the other hand, the two girl scientists had sour heads from being tossed but they could walk. They went after squishy without wasting any time.
"Don't hurt Bonnie" was all Clemont said before passing out himself.
"That was never our intention" said Alain as called his victorious mega charizard back.
